What a fantastic trip, we met up with family and they booked the dry boat, and it was absolutely fanastic, the 360 turns, the rapids, the lut. Next time its got to be the wet boat. This is a ride all can enjoy more

You will get soaked, it was thrilling, and the staff does a great job. Expect walls of water to be poured over you (I personally drank about a pint of river water). My husband just laughed the entire time. The boat is amazing. Planning to take our 20+ year old sons back next season. more

WOW!

This was definitely a highlight of our trip! We took the Wet Jet tour and it certainly was wet! At times we were sitting in 18 inches of water! We took our 10-year old along and he also really enjoyed it, though at first on hearing of this attraction he was hesitant. The tour begins with a slow boat ride... more

Saw on You Tube and booked immediately in May for family vacation in August, was not dissapointed. Two kids (11 & 9), wife all thought it was great. Only disappointment, trip wasn't long enough. Tour guide Bethany and Captain Adam were great as well as other staff. Would suggest leaving out of Lewiston or other location so as to avoid... more

I have to ecstatically say that this jet boat ride is one of THE MOST thrilling rides I've ever taken in my life! My friend and I didn't quite know what to expect except that we'd certainly get wet—great! The fun starts off with a group tutorial on where we'll be going, what we'll be riding, what to do/not do,... more

although the experience of going through the rapids is exhilarating. The trip only went through the rapids 3 times. took 4 family members with me, which cost close to $300. The log ride at wonderland was more fun. The ride through the no-wake zone was excruciatingly slow. I believe this can be avoided by going up to the other location... more

I thought this was one exciting boat ride. The tour guide was wonderful and the boat captain was in full control of the boat. We were given a wool sweater, jumpsuit slicker, heavy duty poncho, and water shoes to wear since the water was still so cold. If we had worn closed back shoes (not flip flops) we would have... more

I think the whirlpool jet is nice but it's definitely overpriced and overhyped. It's 57 bucks for a one hour boat tour, 15 minutes of which is actually spent in the whirlpool. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the whirlpool and 20 minutes to come back. When I went there, we went through the rapid 4 times only.... more

We did this tour June 3rd when the crowds are not so huge and we chose the dome boat because the water is pretty cold this time of year and we didn't care to end up with icicles on our noses. Noticed a group of teens coming back from the open jet boat and they were very wet but happy.... more

We did this trip last year when visiting Niagra-on-the-Lake (although I had previously gone on it years before from here too). Both times were on the "open" boat - I don't think there was an option many years ago. You are provided with suitable gear to cover you however in practice you get soaked to the skin anyway so go... more
